Looking to Reboot The Australian Rooster Teeth Fans, Possibly making a Discord
New Discord For Roo Teeth members! https://discord.gg/kW9Uapw6
I feel like Rooster Teeth has forgotten about it's foreign community over the past couple of years. I understand that setting up RTX in foreign countries like Australia and the UK are extremely difficult tasks that takes months to plan, I get that is hard. But to cancel both RTX London and RTX Sydney with little to no explanation why really confuses me. I understand that recently Rooster Teeth has had to very unfortunately cut a portion of their staff due to behind the scenes issues and I sympathize for them deeply. Rooster Teeth has always prided themselves of being clear and transparent with their fans, with a prime example being how they handled the cancellation of RTX London, with a public blog post from Gus directly. However, this is not the same with Australia and RTX Sydney as Rooster Teeth instead replaced RTX Sydney 2019 with a Achievement Hunter Live Road trip which while disappointing for some (including myself) was a fair trade-off. However, after that, us Australian fans where where given nothing. No information about RTX Sydney 2020, no information about a 2nd Achievement Hunter Live Road Show, no information about a potential cancellation of RTX Sydney, nothing. Only to be treated to a message on December 6, 2019 detailing how Rooster Teeth has decided to cancel the Rooster Teeth Australia Store and instead send Australian Rooster Teeth Fans to the American Website to buy the merch that they want to buy. This change has essentially gated off many Australian Rooster Teeth fans from buying the selected merch they want as not only is the American Rooter Teeth Store extremely expensive when you convert USD to AUD (a simple RWBY striped Crewneck Sweatshirt is priced at $82.00 AUD on the US Rooster Teeth Store). And, not only are the base prices of these's merch items astronomical compared to the original price, the shipping fee's are simply too high ($37.29 for 2 - 3 week International Shipping and $105.42 for 3-4 days International Expedited Shipping). Meaning that more times than not, Australian fans will have to spend a enormous amount of cash to simply get one or two items of clothing. Sometime the price of shipping will cost more than the item itself. Furthermore, the UK's Rooster Teeth Store while still active, also seems to be shutting down due to unforeseen circumstances. Thus leaving only the US Rooster Teeth Store open for international Rooster Teeth fans to spend a significant amount of money just to receive a package of their favorite merch. Once again, I want to say I love Rooster Teeth. As a person who traveled from Brisbane to Sydney in order to attended RTX Sydney 2017 and 2018, I have been in love and involved with the Australian Rooster Teeth community ever since I was 14 watching RWBY with my best friends. However, I find the way that Rooster Teeth has treated it's international fan base to be subpar at best ever since 2019, from RTX London and the Australian Rooster Teeth Store being cancelled to RTX Sydney being swept under the rug with not explanation why, simply frustrates me a international fan and a first member. For international fans to be relegated to the US Rooster Teeth Store and being forced to pay insane mark-ups on merch items that can't be found anywhere else is just unfair for any international member of the Rooster Teeth Community and has simply discouraged many Rooster Teeth fans from paying for merch items as it has just become to expensive to justify. If any Rooster Teeth Member is reading this message, I simply want answers to why RTX Sydney and London where cancelled. Why their hasn't been any real information on any of the topics I bring up and why the International Rooster Teeth community has been swept aside as if we don't exist anymore. RTX Sydney and London were both massively successful and made the international Rooster Teeth community feel recognized, and to experience that again would feel great. Sorry if I seem like im crying, just frustrated with the lack of information
I am looking for people in the community to be friends with in Animal Crossing! My island is in the Southern Hemisphere and grows apples :)
HAPPY BATHURST DAY!
Does anyone have any experience buying stock from the US Roosterteeth store and having it delivered to Australia?
does anyone know if there will be an RTX Australia in 2020? or am I just hoping for something that won't happen
heyo! So I was wondering if any of the folks from Roo Teeth live in the N.T at all? it'd be crazy to have some RT Fans in this group who lived by me
gen lock has dragged me back from the great beyond to wait on the site for new episodes to air so now i'm back to wasting time milling around the forums ... how about that "weather we are having fellow humans", seriously though im gonna get flooded again if this rain doesn't stop :|
So how was Achievement Hunter Lets Play Live?
AH Live Australia is coming up, I would be interested to know the percentage of group member who will be attending.
